Chemistry - Coordination Chemistry Question with Solution | TestHub

Explanation Question: Question asked incorrect statement about zeise's salt

Concept:

Based on E.A.N rule

Solution:

$\mathrm{K}\left[\mathrm{Pt}{\mathrm{Cl}}_3\left({\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4\right)\right]{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

Pt oxi'd ${}^4$ no $=+2$

$\mathrm{P}+$ atoms no $=78$

E.A.N $=\mathrm{Z}-\mathrm{O}.\mathrm{N}.+2\times \mathrm{C}.\mathrm{N}$

$=78-(+2)+2\times 4$

$=78+6$

$=84$

Final Answer : Option (A)
